Stomach Bloat Or Gdv Surgery
About Our Stomach Bloat and GDV Surgery Services
Bayshore Veterinary Hospital offers specialized stomach bloat and Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV) surgery services to address this serious condition. Stomach bloat in pets often occurs when they swallow foreign objects such as toys, bones, or hairballs, leading to a blockage in the intestines. This obstruction traps gases, causing severe bloating that can make your pet uncomfortable and, in some cases, can be life-threatening.
Prompt medical intervention is necessary to remove the trapped object and relieve the bloating. Without timely surgery, the blockage can cause the intestinal walls to perforate, posing even greater risks to your pet's health. If you suspect your pet has swallowed something they shouldn’t have, we recommend getting them examined by our experienced veterinary team as soon as possible.
Signs of stomach bloat include lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea, as your pet’s body tries to expel the obstruction. If your pet shows any of these symptoms, our team is ready to diagnose and treat the issue, offering the care they need to recover safely and quickly.

Typically, such a pet will undergo an X-ray examination so that the vets can understand what is causing the bloat. Once they do, an operation will be performed to remove whatever is causing the blockage.
After such a surgery is done, it is normal for the pet to be placed under observation for a while to make sure that there are no post-surgery complications.
